This is the biggest reason why I think WK barely gets a passing grade (probably a D-, only b/c of his early season moves). Look at July and August, the months when he went on an unprecedented roster slicing and dicing. Not good at all.

I think I'll see if I can rent the movie "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman and watch it with the kids.

But on a Reds note.... I'd love to see them finish out the season with a stretch of wins. As bad as the NL remains it would be fun to watch a few teams at least get worried and "we" "me" "us" "the team" "the Reds" get excited.

Re: Custer's Last Stand

I'd hate to see the season end on a complete implosion and have that lingering in our minds all offseason. While they are ultimatley a .500ish team I'd hate to see the good things they did over the course of the year overshadowed by a total collapse in the last weeks of the season.

a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude.

I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate
